What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on dental care for infants, children, and teens. It supports healthy development, prevents common issues, and treats problems early. Many parents choose pediatric dentists for their first dental visits for their babies, cavities and toothaches, and for advice on good daily practices.
Choosing the Right Care
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| First dental visit for a baby or toddler | Infant oral exam |
| Frequent snacking or early cavity risk | Fluoride treatment |
| Deep grooves on back teeth | Dental sealants |
| Baby tooth lost too early | Space maintainer |
| Toothache or visible damage | Pediatric restorative care |
| Child feels nervous during visits | Nitrous oxide sedation |
What to Expect
- Consultation: Depending on their age, we start by showing your child our dental office and chair, as well as explaining some of the equipment they see. We review your child’s history, and answer any questions or concerns you have as a parent.
- Exam: We check the health of your child’s teeth and gums. X-rays are only taken if we find a need to see below the surface.
- Explanation: Our dentist explains findings in simple terms and outlines a treatment plan that fits your child’s age and needs.
- Treatment: We carefully consider the comfort of your child while planning the treatment. We want them to know what to expect.
- Follow-up: We provide you with good oral hygiene techniques and recommendations for the next appointment.
Costs and Insurance
Dental costs are determined by the type of visit (preventative, emergency, etc) and your dental insurance. Most preventive dental services are either partially or fully paid for through dental insurance. Our office team will review your dental plan prior to starting any treatment and explain any possible out-of-pocket costs.
Family Care You Can Trust
- A friendly team: Works hard at helping children feel comfortable at their dental visits and welcomes patient and parent questions.
- Modern tools: We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to provide quick and efficient care.
- Comfort options: If necessary, we offer nitrous oxide along with treatment to help children feel more at ease during visits.
